Hi
I have a mod that is a trailer with a stand. When the trailer is hooked up the player can use the built-in folding mechanism to raise or lower the stand. But I also want to do it from the script code in onAttach and onDetach functions. I tried using the animation like I did with some other parts (followed the same steps to set up an animation) but then it doesn't work, neither from the script or from the built-in folding mechanism (but the info text shows up).
My guess is that I perhaps is trying to create two animation things from the same source and that gives some conflict.

Best would be if I could call some function to just fold/unfold the trailer, second best get the animation to work (get hold of the animation character set etc. all those values that are needed). Anyone getting this?

You can use self:setFoldDirection(1) or self:setFoldDirection(-1) to start the folding animation.
